Asus has certainly done its bit to ensure that all the world's geeks get one tiny computer each, but now the ickle notebook maker wants to sell us ickle desktop PC full of Windows XP goodness. It is expected to unveil its Asus Eee Box in August and it has plenty of green credentials, such as a low-power Intel Atom N270 processor running at 1.6GHz, although other eco-friendly info about this device is shrouded in mystery. Specs-wise, it comes with 1GB of memory, 80GB of storage, wireless (802.11n) and Gigabit Ethernet connectivity. There is also support forSD, SDHC, MS, MS Pro and MMC card formats. As well as XP, the machine also comes with a Linux-based Asus Express Gate OS to let users get on the internet in less than seven seconds, it claimed. Asus also claimed that the Eee Box would be almost completely silent in operation and small enough to fit on the tiniest of desks. Pricing info has yet to be detailed.
